How do I talk about sensitive topics with students who come to my course with varying identities and lived experiences that shape their engagement? In this workshop we will discuss what kids of prompts and ways of being as an instructor can support students’ ability to be vulnerable in our courses. We’ll consider how to weave reflexive discussion and writing prompts throughout our course to serve as entry points to vulnerability as well as vehicles to help our students form scholarly identities.

All graduate students are welcome. This event grows out of concerns in the Graduate School of Education, and so may be most useful to students in related fields.

Counts toward the CETLI Teaching Certificate.
